  1. Hi there, warm welcome to the site, YES so relate to all that... as others will do too...  8wks is early in your recovery even for a NASAH I take my hat off organizing a family do, it really will take it out of you and what you would have enjoyed maybe wont, (that's me honest and it gets me into bother) but been there did that because 'I thought I could and it would be fine' 

    If you can delegate - delegate most of it.... 

     

    take care..

    my first year anniversary (Christmas Day!).

    Have a lovely day on Christmas day enjoy it - be thankful it'll be better....

     

    I had a SAH 24yrs ago No idea what the cause was and was so scared of any landmark ani-versaries but what I've learnt is fear isnt the place to be just enjoy your Christmas...

  3. :yikes: 

    Yesterday was 24 years WoW!!! I got quite a surprise the other day when Ronnie said ‘coming up on your 24 years I thought it was 23yrs so there you go ‘lost a year’ so to speak. 😉

     

    Honesty here I guess the last 4/5years have been a turmoil in some ways Pandemic sort of was like the weapon that crashed it all for me….  I thought at first well I’m in the house on my own a lot so ‘Lock down’ should be a breeze how wrong was I like my hair I never noticed it coming I didn’t realize the impact it would have.  My independence hasn’t really recovered even now.

     

    I went through quite an emotional time found out Ronnie was ill and I turned into the carer for him for a time which was an emotional challenge, at that time I missed Birthday’s Christmas and maybe other things too I don’t remember but my focus had to be on Ronnie after all he’d been with me every step of my journey it was my turn now.  So if I missed your birthday or anything that’s why, I wasn’t not speaking, I wasn’t in the huff was simply my focus was on Ronnie…

     

    The Brain Haemorrhage has made me who I am today I’m no longer the timid person I used to be, some would say they couldn’t believe how I was SO different now those are the ones that ‘floated out my life’ those that have stuck by me for the long haul I appreciated that more than words can ever express so I’ll just say ‘You know just WHO YOU ARE’ and Thank-you from the bottom of my heart…

     

    Add in the pandemic and lock down getting Jabs and Boosters that throw me into Bah-humbug stuff usually a re-action of some kind, all the time wondering if they’re really are OK and knowing that without it the Covid I had in Apr2022 might have been worse than it was, and it was pretty horrid the Neuro stuff lasted about 3months so that was a challenge.

     

    My Auntie Lynn passed so no longer was there someone that could engage those memories of my past, Of times, places and most of all people that were around that was and is very hard.

    Now I have had 24yrs of learning about the ‘new me’ adapting to her, working with her – has it been easy far from it but (in the words of my Uncle Bud) ‘it is what it is’- it’s with me 365 24/7 I get no time off from ME, and 24years on I am still learning, still adapting to thing but ‘I wouldn’t have it any other way’ I am who I am now and embrace it…

     

    BTG: was a life-line for me in those exact words I found I wasn’t alone in how I felt or things able to achive, Karen, Sami, Keith and others all similar but all so much different…

     

    I know there’s those that can’t get used to the new ‘you’ it took a long time for me to get used to her a very long time I would say find one thing that is ok’ish and go with that & build on it….Dont let what others think of you Define you, and they definatly don’t deserve a place in your ‘awesome life’ you’ve been given such a gift (a gift of life that many don’t get).

     

    *******  To Ronnie without the help and support you have given me over the years I don’t know where or how I would be now, without your help and support and sometimes constant pushing has given me something that in early 2000’s I thought I would never have I owe you so much the me I am today, ok so I constantly talk when you’re doing your crossword, or watching a Movie or TV, I ask questions usually at the wrong times, I’m at times a Thorn in your side I know all that ‘it’s me – its who I am’.

     

    You and I started of at work as Friends the true friendship isn’t about being there when it’s convenient, it’s about being there when it’s not.  And True friendships are the ones who lift you up, when no one else has noticed you’ve fallen….  You are all that and more you will forever be my BFF

    I’ve tried with this post to be as frank as I can BE ups and downs of it..

  5. Hi there

    Warm welcome, glad that you found the site..

     

    Cant add much more, yep listen to your body when it asks for rest dont fight it do just that, keep well hydrated sounds weird but does help,  knowing your not alone and others understand is fab, well I think it is and still do.

     

    Try to relax, and rest plenty, dont feel guilty about resting, all aids in recovery..

     

    ;)

  6. Michelle, Andrea needs to seek advice sooner rather than later, either Solicitor or going into a CAB (citizen advice centre) but really not waiting.  Isnt this fraud of some sort...

     

    Can I ask are the Two Andrea's the same or is it just coinsidance... 

  7. Hi, I hope things have inproved some since your post sorry seem to have missed it origionally.. 

     

    My memory was shocking in the beginning and I know I was hard going with people but things inproved with hard work - tears - and tantrums 

     

    ;)
